Overview
This bill revises the procedures for temporary guardianships in New Jersey. It allows a court to appoint a temporary guardian of a person or estate, or both, on an emergency basis before a full hearing to determine incapacity. The bill requires specific disclosures to the alleged incapacitated person and their family, outlines conditions for the temporary guardian’s actions, and establishes a process for accountability and potential rescission of actions taken during the temporary guardianship period. It also clarifies notification requirements and expands the court’s ability to limit guardian powers.
